This project seeks to appoint a National Grapevine Collection Coordinator to establish an Industry Advisory Committee and work alongside it to lead, oversee, drive and manage a nationally co-ordinated grapevine germplasm collection. Responsibilities include managing stakeholder engagement, instigating a certification standard for grapevine propagation material and a national database of grapevine accessions, and delivering a management and funding plan to secure the future of the NGC beyond the term of this project.
